A MAT is a charitable company and is responsible for the strategic direction of the academy and has four layers of governance:
The Members of the Trust
The Board of Trustees
Trustee Advisory Committees
Local Governing Boards (LGB)

Further information on all of these roles will be provided, should the MAT move forward.
A draft scheme of delegation has been developed to clarify the responsibilities and powers of Trustees and LGBs at each school within the proposed MAT. This would ensure compliance with legal requirements.
This is an initial draft of the Scheme of Delegation which would be reviewed and a final scheme of delegation formally agreed by the Board of Trustees on creation of a MAT.
